head slightly wider than the thorax, clothed with dense, ap- 
pressed, ochraceous pubescence; thorax subrectangular, bi- 
tuberculate on each side; abdomen maculated with areas of 
appressed, black and ochraceous pubescence. Length, 9.5 mm. 
Head ferruginous, densely clothed with appressed, ochra- 
ceous pubescence and sparse, erect, ochraceous hairs; mandibles 
ferruginous, black at the tips, edentate; clypeus very broadly 
and prominently elevated into a process medially, the ventral 
surface of the process strongly concave, densely punctured and 
clothed with erect, ochraceous pubescence; the dorsal surface 
of the process coarsely punctured, with sparse, erect, ochraceous 
pubescence, and medially elevated into a blunt tooth; scape, 
pedicel and first segment of flagellum ferruginous, the remainder 
of the flagellum darker; scape glabrous, with scattered punctures 
above; flagellar segments 3-9 planate beneath; antennal scrobes 
not carinate above; front and vertex with sparse, deep, distinct 
punctures, the intervals between the latter with fine, dense, 
shallow punctures; gense with large, rather close very deep 
punctures, the intervals between the latter sculptured like the 
front, posterior margin of the gense defined by a prominent 
crenulate carina which terminates at the postero-lateral angles; 
relative widths of head and thorax, 3.75-3.25. 
Thorax subrectangular, ferruginous, the dorsum and pleura 
densely, foveately punctate, the punctures of the pleura larger 
and more separated than those of the dorsum; dorsum of thorax 
and posterior face of propodeum clothed with sparse, erect, 
black pubescence; mesopleura and metapleura and ventral mar- 
gins of propodeum clothed with appressed, ochraceous pubes- 
cence; thorax tuberculate at the postero-lateral angles of the 
pronotum, and at the propodeal spiracles, the latter opening on 
the posterior surface of the tubercle. 
Abdomen ferruginous; first segment quadrate, the antero- 
lateral angles dentate; first tergite with close, deep punctures, 
clothed with dense, appressed, ochraceous pubescence and 
sparse, erect, ochraceous hairs, the posterior margin with a 
small spot of black pubescence medially; second tergite, except 
broad apical margin, with deep foveate punctures, dense and 
confluent on the disk, larger and somewhat separated at the
